About time? US may pass a law against eating pets.

Incredible to learn that only a few US states ban the slaughter of dogs and cats for human consumption. The practice is said to be rare, but it is a cultural tradition for a few new immigrant communities.

We hope this is the only way you'll ever see dog on the table.

Now a new federal law would make that practice illegal across the country. When enacted, anyone breaking this law could face a year in prison or a stiff fine or both together. Needless to say, animal protection groups are pleased at the prospect.
